"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
People often ask, "What is God's will for my life?" Here is part of the answer, plainly stated: rejoice, pray, give thanks.
Giving thanks in everything is not pretending everything is good. It is finding God in everything. Gratitude is a root that drinks deeply.
Prayer
Lord, teach me to rejoice always, to pray continually, and to give thanks in every circumstance. This is Your will for me. Amen.
